I have noticed many airliners (probably from Boeing)

retractable slats and dozens (hundreds) of fixed VGs
on each
wing. Also, every heavy plane I have ever seen has
fully retractable
flaps. I am not an aeronautical engineer, but I
must assume the
airline designers go to great lengths to improve the
landing and
takeoff performance of their aluminum clouds to
allow them to operate
on shorter runways and improve airplane sales.
I tend to agree with you that these issues are not
so apparent with a
701 that barely needs a runway to start with.
However, anyone who
wants to spend their lives second guessing Chris
Heintz on the best
way to design a small airplane for inexperienced
pilots and first
time home builders can have my share of that
activity. I'll just
stick with his judgement and proven track record.
